Blog - Buy a new mower When it comes time to get a new lawn mower, how do you go about selecting one? Do you grab a used one on the side of the road? Or run to Walmart? What are your thoughts on name brands?

The fact is, if you make a good, educated purchase now it’s going to help you in the long run, whether it costs your more or not. Here’s five things you should know when selecting your next lawn mower, follow them and you’ll thank us down the road:

  1. Don’t just consider the price! Good power equipment is an investment in the upkeep of your home and/or property. Selecting the right equipment won’t just make the job easier, it will save you time and produce better results.
  2. Don’t want to buy a name brand? Well, you should strongly consider it. Name brands may cost more but they usually require less maintenance. This makes it more cost efficient in the long run.
  3. Make sure to buy from a servicing dealer. To get accurate information on all aspects of lawn equipment, talk to a lawn equipment professional. Should something need fixing, you don’t have to take it apart and send it off somewhere to be fixed.
  4. Buy the proper size for the area you are tending.
  5. Check the warranty before buying and ask where warranty work is performed.
